Find free content & preview paid content

You can find free apps and content throughout Google Play, and you can also preview some paid content.

Note: A form of payment is required for all accounts. Since downloading free content is still considered a transaction (even when the price of the item is $0.00), you may be prompted to add a credit or debit card if you don't already have one in your account. You won't be charged for downloading free content.

Using the Google Play Store app

Using your computer

All Android apps and games offer a two-hour trial period. During the two hours after you purchase an app or game, you can return it for a full refund. You can't return the same app or game more than once.

Within some Android apps, you'll have the option to purchase a subscription. A subscription is when you pay a recurring fee rather than a one-time price for the content of that app. Some Android apps with subscriptions have a trial period. Keep in mind:

Trial subscriptions for Android apps last a minimum of seven days.

You'll see if an app has a trial period and how long it is before completing your purchase.

If you cancel an app subscription before the trial period ends, you won't be charged.

If you do not cancel, you will be automatically billed for the subscription at the end of the trial period.

Follow the on-screen instructions. You will receive the magazine's current issue, plus any other new issues published within the free trial period.

Note: If you don't cancel before the free trial period ends, your payment method will automatically be charged for the subscription. Learn more about subscriptions or check digital rates for your print subscriptions.
